PC/Mobile World Of Warcraft Classic being DDoS

[Demon_Skeith]

World Of Warcraft Classic is currently down for some players. The issues have been happening since around 11 AM EST in the United States. Blizzard has confirmed that the game is currently facing DDoS attacks and is working to fix the issues and get the game back up and running.

What's up with all those DDoS at late? The other day it was Wikipedia who cooped it.

I wonder if these DDoS attacks on game servers are caused by cyber criminals who DDoS websites if the owner of the game server does not pay many thousands of dollars in ransom money to cyber criminals.

This, or could be done by some loser who didn't get his/her way because he/she lost a game?
